Tyner's Photography: October 2006
http://tynersphotography.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
The following is a collection of musings about photography to complement my Flickr. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. A love hate relationship with 2x extenders. If you have ever seen the media area at a professional sporting event then you have seen. Line up: the 400 f/2.8 L IS USM, 500 f/4 L IS USM, and 600 f/4 L IS USM. These big white guns retail around $9400, $8000, and $11000 (CDN) respectively. At these prices the amateur photographer can only dream, and I do, of owning such glass. It is not bad but not ...

When in doubt, use brute force." - Ken Thompson. Sunday, January 11, 2009. Renaming MP3 by ID tag. Ever tried to recover from an IPOD dump, and get a bunch of files with the useless names? Here's a script to fix that. Ls *mp3 ./rename.pl - while read line; do OLD=`echo $line cut -d, -f1`; NEW=`echo $line cut -d, -f2`; mv "$OLD" "$NEW"; done. And here's the perl script:. Your Love Means Everything.mp3: (tag v1.0). Songname: Your Love Means Everything. My %hsh = ();. My @info = `id3ed -i "$ "`;.

When in doubt, use brute force." - Ken Thompson. Wednesday, February 04, 2009. Shit happens - even to google. Everyone knows of the now infamous google malware database corruption. Google was able to fix the issue quickly, which is great and all. But what really impresses me is their open attitude when it comes to their end user products, like this post. On the gmail blog.

A self indulgence: September 2006
http://petermblair.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
When in doubt, use brute force." - Ken Thompson. Friday, September 15, 2006. Katharine has submitted her final MRP. To the school of graduate studies. And will do her oral defence in just under a week. Should all go well, then she'll have her MA. This has gotten me thinking about my own future possibilites in graduate school. I have the marks, and just have to maintain my average with the requisite math courses (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistic) and my current courses. I spoke with a professor. Three ...

A self indulgence: May 2007

When in doubt, use brute force." - Ken Thompson. Sunday, May 13, 2007. This is entirely premature, but. It looks like I'll be changing departments at work. The paperwork still needs to go through, but it looks like I'll be working in the Abuse department at work. I'm really looking forward to the change and the challenge. I was told that they need someone with both system-admin and programming skills, and that I suited that nicely. With a mailbox count in the millions. Once things become official.

A self indulgence: December 2007
http://petermblair.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
When in doubt, use brute force." - Ken Thompson. Thursday, December 06, 2007. Received a third-gen iPod nano on Monday as a thank-you for some work that I've been doing (at work), and just finally got the thing working! These third-gen buggers require that the iTunesDB be signed. With the device's serial number. First I had to find the serial number by doing a "find" on "/proc" and grepping for "usb". The device came up, and I simply "cat"-ed the file to get the serial number. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A self indulgence: June 2007

When in doubt, use brute force." - Ken Thompson. Saturday, June 02, 2007. BGP RBL = Scary? Well, we'll see. Http:/ www.pch.net/documents/tutorials/maps-rbl-bgp-cisco-config-faq.html. It makes sense, but something in my gut worries me when the router is automagically null-routing. Based on a RBL. Maybe I don't grasp the power of it. I'm looking forward to any discussion on this at MAAWG. Friday, June 01, 2007. Katharine and I bought a new house last week. I'd say more, but she already has. BGP RBL = Scary?
